To believe, or not to believe?

Is it possible that the set of planets really influence our life? How to treat horoscopes and other prophecies? It depends only on ourselves. It is a matter of fact that a lot of horoscope prophesies fulfill, because they are written not entirely clearly, they don’t specify what is supposed to happen in the future, and it usually happens anyway. How we are going to treat horoscopes is our individual matter.

A lot of people treats horoscopes as a superstition or black magic, which, because of being a believer, shouldn’t be practiced. It is only God who can make our future and be able to change it. Believing in horoscopes would underestimate the faith in God. However, there are people who like to follow in their lives something which makes them feel more confident. That is why they believe in various prophesies and horoscopes. It somehow makes them sure that they act as the Mother Nature wants them to, and gives them the sense of safety- if they follow a piece of advice from a prophecy, nothing wrong will happen.

Horoscopes are not only supposed to inanely foretell the future, but they also help people who believe in them lead their lives. A professional horoscope tells about how we manage the game against our fate, indicates our advantages and clearly describes what we should learn. The quality of a horoscope can be assessed only after few days, so we have to just believe it and take the actions.

All of the above make a horoscope a very individual matter and it’s only up to us whether we are going to adjust our acts to it, to treat is as a form of relax before sleeping, or just ignore it completely. For many, horoscopes are not fun, but a way of living. Astrologers and fortune tellers- they all love it and are fascinated by horoscopes, and thanks to the others who believe in in- they earn their livings doing it! Astrology is a highly developed field of science, which is not accessible for everyone, as not everyone feels created to do this.

If you are searching for wisdom and answers to the questions why it is happening like that and not in a different way, you should visit an esoteric astrologer, who will not only tell you the future, but also explain everything.

A horoscope is only a tool which portraits what we were and are like, and what we should become.
